“I never thought that he was doing anything wrong even though I’m from the reclusive world!”
He had not done anything wrong.
Those people who had slaughtered his people were the ones to be blamed. He simply took revenge on them for his people.
Moreover, he had even killed the people who took advantage of innocent people.
But, the reclusive world was afraid of his talent and they were fearful of his ability to change the state of the reclusive world. Therefore, they united all the forces to destroy him.
There were numerous powerful people in the reclusive world at that time. But, still… they did not manage to kill him.
“At first, my late husband was close to Master Qin. He appeared nice but he was the worst of all! He was a hypocrite! My late husband assumed that Tian Ya could not beat the entire reclusive world alone. He wanted to save him. So, he had planned to gather some people to go and save him.
“But, my late husband did not know how to differentiate the bad people from the good people. He knew only of bastards. Master Qin took that advantage and joined forces with the other families. They kidnapped my late husband and that old bastard used him to threaten Tian Ya. Consequently, Tian Ya was disturbed and he became nervous. He received an attack directly and that was why the battle ended abruptly.
“Even so, I still think that Tian Ya did not lose that battle. If it was not for the Luo family’s sake, he would have been able to start all over again even if he did not manage to change how things were in the reclusive world. But, my late husband was kidnapped by them. Thus, Tian Ya had no choice but to use the last resort and threaten the reclusive world to sign a contract with him.
“There are only two rules in his contract. First, the reclusive world is not allowed to attack the secular world. Second, they cannot attack the Luo family. In return, he was willing to go to that place and never to return.”
The old lady started to tremble slightly when she had almost finished the tale. She smiled bitterly.
“Our Luo family owes him too much. I know what his worries were. At first, I planned to promise him to take care of his family. But, Tian Ya was worried that I would expose his family. So, I did not dare to bother his family all these years.”
“Grandmother…” Luo Li paled. “Why am I unaware of all these things?”
The old lady smiled bitterly and shook her head. “Don’t be surprised. Even your father is unaware of all these things. Your grandfather passed away long go because of the guilt he had toward Tian Ya. Only some superior people from the three forces knew about this then. Otherwise, how would the world see them if the world knew how they had protected the reclusive world with evil schemes? They would be humiliated. That’s what I have promised when I signed the contract.”
Luo Li pursed her lips tightly. “So, is that the reason why you dislike Qin Xiaoyue from the beginning?”
“Yes, I don’t like them. Only Qin Fei’er is rather nice in the Qin family. She doesn’t have many intentions. But, I don’t quite adore Qin Fei’er too. She makes me uncomfortable. It might be because of that deceased old fellow in that family.”
Luo Li lowered her head.
If Grandmother had told her about this earlier, she would never have been friends with Qin Fei’er.
But she realized now. She knew what kind of people she should befriend.
Qin Fei’er was too selfish.
“But, the Luo family was not comfortable either. Although they had promised not to lay a hand on us, we no longer had superior status.” Old Lady Luo laughed bitterly. “What is worse is that I felt that my world had collapsed when my husband passed away.”
